Introduction

   i.    Financial Highlights 

-- Revenue recorded EGP 2,293 million in 1H 2021, up a remarkable 141% versus the comparable period of last year supported by both IDH's Covid-19-related(3) tests and a sustained recovery in the Group's conventional test offering. Top-line growth for the first half of 2021 was dual-driven, as tests performed and average price per test posted year-on-year expansions of 45% and 66%, respectively. Covid-19-related tests contributed to 48% of IDH's top-line during the first six months of the year compared to the 9% contribution made during 1H 2020. Excluding Covid-19-related tests, the Group witnessed a 38% year-on-year expansion in revenue generated from its conventional test offering. The year-to-date performance was buoyed by an impressive second quarter, which saw IDH build on the strong momentum from the start of the year to record revenues of EGP 1,164 million for 2Q 2021, up 159% versus 2Q 2020 and 3% from 1Q 2021.

-- Consolidated revenues continued to be supported by the Group's house call service in Egypt and Jordan, which in 1H 2021 contributed to 23% of total revenue versus the 18% contribution made this time last year. Through its house call service, IDH served more than 646,000 patients in 1H 2021 (up 88% versus 1H 2020), performing more than 3.4 million tests (up 49% versus 1H 2020). Leveraging an expanded reach, IDH was able to carry out an average of 3,600 house call visits per day in 1H 2021, up significantly from the 1,900 visits per day performed in 1H 2020.

-- Gross Profit grew by 193% year-on-year in 1H 2021 to record EGP 1,305 million with an associated margin of 57% versus 47% in the same period last year. Improved gross profitability came on the back of strong top-line growth and the subsequent dilution of fixed costs for the period such as direct salaries and wages and other expenses. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 recorded EGP 667 million, up 4% from the previous quarter and with a gross margin of 57%.

-- Operating Profit recorded EGP 1,094 million, a 295% year-on-year expansion, with an associated margin of 48% versus 29% last year. The remarkable growth in operating profit was supported by strong gross profitability, the dilution of SG&A outlays for the period due to their relatively fixed nature, and a normalisation of provisions booked in 1H 2021, which recorded EGP 10 million versus EGP 28 million in 1H 2020 to account for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9.

-- Normalised EBITDA(4) reached EGP 1,203 million in 1H 2021, an increase of 227% from the comparable period of last year. EBITDA margin expanded to 52% for the period versus 39% in 1H 2020. Solid improvements in EBITDA profitability were driven by strong top-line growth in 1H 2021 and the subsequent dilution of IDH's fixed costs for the period. On a quarterly basis, normalised EBITDA recorded EGP 603 million, up 267% year-on-year and largely in line with last quarter's figure. Normalised EBITDA margin stood at 52% for the quarter, down from the 53% margin recorded in 1Q 2021 as IDH booked higher accounting fees (related to the EGX requirement to publish quarterly reviewed financial statements) and additional bonus payments to senior management during 2Q 2021.

-- Net Profit expanded 283% year-on-year to record EGP 668 million in 1H 2021, with a net profit margin of 29% versus 18% in 1H 2020. Net profit growth was supported by strong EBITDA level profitability and comes despite IDH booking EGP 29 million in one-off fees related to the Company's dual-listing in May 2021. In 2Q 2021, net profit stood at EGP 327 million with an associated margin of 28%.

-- A dividend of US$ 29.1 million (US$ 0.0485 per share) for the year ended 31 December 2020 was distributed to shareholders on 29 July 2021. This represents an increase of 4% compared to a final dividend of US$ 28 million in aggregate in the previous financial year.

3 Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other Covid-19-related tests which include a bundle of routine inflammatory and clotting markers (which witnessed strong demand following the outbreak of Covid-19) such as Complete Blood Picture, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and C-reactive Protein (CRP), among others.

4 Normalised EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and amortization and minus one-off fees incurred in 1H 2021 (EGP 29 million) related to the Company's EGX listing completed in May 2021.

ii. Operational Highlights

-- IDH's branch network stood at 495 branches as of 30 June 2021, up from 462 branches and 481 branches as of 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2020, respectively.

-- Total tests performed recorded 16.3 million in 1H 2021, up 45% year-on-year. Higher test volumes were supported by both IDH's Covid-19-related(5) test offering as well as a sustained recovery in the Group's conventional test offering, with the latter up 29% versus the first six months of 2020. In 2Q 2021, IDH performed 8.3 million tests, up 2% from the previous quarter as IDH performed both more Covid-19-related and conventional tests during the second quarter of the year compared to the previous quarter. The quarter-on-quarter expansion is particularly noteworthy as the second quarter included the expected slowdown related to the holy month of Ramadan and Eid vacation.

-- Average revenue per test expanded 66% year-on-year to EGP 141 in 1H 2021. Controlling for the generally higher value Covid-19-related(4) tests, average revenue per test would have increased 7% versus last year.

-- Total patients served reached 4.7 million in 1H 2021, a 62% year-on-year increase. Meanwhile, average test per patient declined to 3.5 in 1H 2021 from 3.9 last year as an increasing number of patients visit the Group's labs for single Covid-19 tests (PCR, Antigen and Antibody).

-- Revenue generated by IDH's Egyptian operations expanded 140% year-on-year on the back of solid growth across both test and patient volumes. On a service basis, top-line growth was supported by both Covid-19-related(5) and conventional tests, and was further bolstered by the Group's house call service which in 1H 2021 made up 25% of Egypt's top-line versus 20% last year. Excluding Covid-19-related contributions in 1H 2021, conventional tests performed and revenue generated in Egypt expanded 29% and 38% year-on-year, respectively.

-- Al-Borg Scan recorded revenue of EGP 20 million in 1H 2021, an increase of 124% compared to last year. The number of radiology tests performed during the first six months of 2021 reached 34,297, more than double the tests performed last year.

-- Wayak turned EBITDA positive during 2Q 2021 on the back of growing revenue and optimised overhead costs. On a year-to-date basis, Wayak's revenue nearly tripled versus last year to reach EGP 4.3 million in 1H2021 supported by a growing customer base.

-- In Jordan, revenue increased 176% year-on-year on the back of strong volume growth for the period. Top-line growth was supported by Biolab's Covid-19-related test offering coupled with solid growth in its conventional test offering, with the latter having made a full recovery from last year's slowdown. In fact, excluding Covid-19-related tests, the number of tests performed and revenue generated would have increased 43% and 41%, respectively.

-- In August, Biolab was selected as the preferred bidder to operate testing stations in Amman's Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA). This landmark partnership will allow IDH to continue playing a frontline role in the fight against Covid-19, while helping to further expand Biolab's volumes and revenue in the coming period.

-- In Nigeria, revenues continued their steady expansion, growing 68% year-on-year (76% in NGN terms) in 1H 2021 supported by a 47% increase in tests performed versus last year.

5 Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other Covid-19-related tests which include a bundle of routine inflammatory and clotting markers (which witnessed strong demand following the outbreak of Covid-19) such as Complete Blood Picture, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and C-reactive Protein (CRP), among others.

iii. Management Commentary

Commenting on the Group's performance for the six-month period, IDH Chief Executive Officer Dr. Hend El-Sherbini said: "Halfway through 2021, I am delighted with the Group's operational and financial performance, which has seen us continue to build on an impressive start to the year to deliver another set of record-breaking results. Our revenues expanded an impressive 141% versus last year on the back of growing patient and test volumes, improved pricing and an increasingly optimised service mix. While top-line growth continued to be bolstered by our Covid-19-related(6) tests, I am happy to report that we have continued to witness robust growth in our conventional test offering for the second quarter in a row, signalling a sustained recovery which we expect to continue even as Covid-19-related volumes begin to taper off. It is particularly important to highlight that the Group's conventional test volumes in 1H 2021 surpassed pre-Covid-19 levels, coming in 4% higher than test volumes recorded in the same six months of 2019 after adjusting for the impact of the 100 Million Healthy Lives Campaign(7) . This is further evidence of the robust underlying demand for high quality diagnostic services present across our markets of operation, and of our continued ability to service this growing market."

"On a regional front, both our Egyptian and Jordanian operations continued to report strong revenue growth supported by our conventional and Covid-19-related service offering. Similar to the trend witnessed at the consolidated level, across both geographies we recorded robust growth in our conventional test portfolio supported by a widespread recovery of economic activity coupled with our multi-pronged efforts aimed at stimulating demand across the entirety of our service roster. Top-line growth in both countries was further buoyed by our home call services which continue to grow in popularity especially in our home market of Egypt, where tests performed directly in patient homes made up 25% of the country's top-line in the first half of 2021. Our ability to effectively ramp up the service in step with growing demand is enabling us to perform up to five thousand house visits per day, helping us to tap into new segments of the population while boosting our tests per patient as patients enjoy the added comfort of having the tests administered in their own homes. House call services represent an important driver of future growth for the Company well beyond the end of the Covid-19 crisis, and as such we are continuing our efforts to expand and further streamline the service. In parallel, we are also seeing growing contributions coming from our radiology venture, Al-Borg Scan, which recorded year-on-year revenue growth of 124% as tests performed more than doubled in the first half of the year. To capitalise on the attractive growth opportunities offered by the segment, we are currently aiming to launch at least three new Al-Borg Scan branches over the coming twelve months. Looking ahead, we expect to continue recording growing contributions to consolidated revenue and profitability as Al-Borg Scan's operations ramp up further."

"At our Nigerian operations, we witnessed sustained top-line growth of 68% for the first half of this year. This comes as our investments to revamp Echo-Lab's operations and strategic marketing efforts continue to bear fruit, attracting an increasing number of patients to our branches. This is a particularly noteworthy achievement in light of the multiple political and pandemic-related difficulties faced over the last year. Finally in Sudan, despite recording an impressive 217% year-on-year revenue expansion in local currency, the significant devaluation of the Sudanese Pound in February 2021 continued to weigh on the country's results. Despite this, we remain committed to the country in the long-term, with management hard at work to continue driving sustainable long-term growth beyond the current difficult operating environment."

"Further down the income statement, we reported impressive margin expansions at all levels of profitability supported by strong top-line and the subsequent dilution of IDH's fixed costs. Additionally, starting in the second quarter of this year we recorded a decline in raw material as percentage of revenues to 16.8% compared to 19.3% in the previous quarter. This was partially due to a decline in Jordan's Covid-19-positive cases requiring confirmatory retests, and is also directly attributable to our successful efforts to reduce PCR test kit costs. Overall, strong top-line growth combined with increased cost efficiencies, higher interest income, and lower provisions booked in the first half of 2021, helped drive a nearly fourfold increase in net profit for 1H 2021 which reached EGP 668 million with an associated margin of 29%."

"Heading into the second half of the year, our strategic priorities remain unchanged as we aim to capitalise on the positive momentum witnessed across both our operations and the wider macroeconomic context. In the short-term we will continue to assist governments in Egypt and Jordan in their fight against the Covid-19 pandemic providing our full roster of Covid-19-related services across both our branches and through our expanded house call service. On this front, I am very happy with our efforts to secure multiple new partnerships over the last few months to offer PCR testing to travellers in both Egypt and Jordan. Most importantly, I am pleased to note that Biolab, our Jordanian subsidiary, has been selected as the preferred bidder by Airport International Group (AIG), the operator of Amman's Queen Alia International Airport, to carry out PCR testing for passengers arriving in Jordan. As part of the agreement, Biolab will also offer rapid PCR testing for Covid-19 to departing passengers who were not able to do a PCR test prior to reaching the airport. Through this landmark partnership, we will be able to continue playing a frontline role in the fight against the Covid-19 virus in Jordan while further expanding our reach and patient base in the country. In parallel, we are looking to sign additional strategic deals with international air carriers to perform PCR tests for passengers similar to our existing agreements with National Air Services (NAS) and Pure Health UAE which see us conduct PCR testing for passengers flying from Egypt to Kuwait and the UAE. Our ability to secure such partnerships is proof positive of the strong reputation enjoyed by IDH both locally and internationally, and further strengthens our offering for international travellers which currently sees the Company offer internationally-accredited PCR tests to travellers within and outside the MENA region. Meanwhile, we are working tirelessly to deliver on our post-Covid-19 growth strategy which will see us leverage our expanded patient base, branch network, and service offering to drive new sustainable growth in the years to come. To this end, in the first six months of the year we successfully added 14 new branches in our home market of Egypt, keeping us on track to meet our goal of 30 to 35 new lab rollouts for 2021 and helping us to further cement our leadership position in the country's private sector diagnostics market. In parallel, we continue to assess potential growth opportunities across new African, Middle Eastern, and Asian markets, and have secured a USD 45 million loan from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to finance our growth plans in the coming period."

"In light of our half-year results and the encouraging recovery witnessed across our markets, I am confident that the Group is on track to deliver a record-breaking performance in 2021, with year-on-year revenue growth surpassing the 70% mark and a normalised EBITDA(8) margin of 47% to 49%. We expect our full-year performance to be supported by both our conventional test offering, which in 1H 2021 continued to witness a robust rebound, coupled with continued strong demand for our Covid-19-related portfolio. Moreover, with Egypt expected to record a new wave of infections later this year, we could see greater than forecasted demand for our Covid-19-related offering in the second half of 2021, with the segment potentially pushing consolidated top-line growth into the 80% range, with an EBITDA margin of around 50%."

6 Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other Covid-19-related tests which include a bundle of routine inflammatory and clotting markers (which witnessed strong demand following the outbreak of Covid-19) such as Complete Blood Picture, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and C-reactive Protein (CRP), among others.

7 The 100 Million Healthy Lives Campaign which ran from November 2018 through June 2019. As part of the Campaign, the Group performed 2.4 million tests in 1H 2019.

(8) Normalised EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and amortization and minus one-off fees incurred in 1H 2021 (EGP 29 million) related to the Company's EGX listing completed in May 2021.

Group Operational & Financial Review

   i.    Revenue and Cost Analysis 
 
 Revenue 
  IDH reported revenue of EGP 2,293 million in 1H 2021, 
  up an impressive 141% from the comparable period of 
  last year driven by both its Covid-19-related(9) tests 
  and a sustained recovery in the Group's conventional 
  test offering. Year-on-year top-line growth continued 
  to be dually-driven as tests performed in 1H 2021 expanded 
  45% versus last year and average revenue per test increased 
  66% compared to the same six months of 2020. Although 
  strong and rising demand for IDH's Covid-19-related 
  test offering saw it make up nearly half of IDH's consolidated 
  top-line (48% in 1H 2021 vs 9% in 1H 2020), the Group's 
  conventional test offering also recorded robust year-on-year 
  growth of 38% of the period. Growth in conventional 
  business came on the back of a 29% increase in tests 
  performed and a 7% rise in average revenue per conventional 
  test. 
  Looking at the Group's Covid-19-related offering in 
  more detail, revenues generated from core Covid-19 
  tests (PCR, Antigen and Antibody) amounted to EGP 830 
  million in 1H 2021, making up 36% of consolidated top-line 
  for the period. In parallel, revenue generated by IDH's 
  other Covid-19-related tests reached EGP 275 million 
  in 1H 2021. 
  IDH's consolidated top-line was also supported by its 
  ramped-up house call service in Egypt and Jordan, which 
  contributed to 23% to consolidated revenue for 1H 2021 
  compared to 18% in 1H 2020. Through its house call 
  service, IDH served more than 646,000 patients in 1H 
  2021, up 88% versus 1H 2020, performing more than 3.4 
  million tests, 49% above the figure recorded in 1H 
  2021. Leveraging an expanded reach, IDH was able to 
  carry out an average of 3,600 house call visits per 
  day in 1H 2021, up significantly from the 1,900 visits 
  per day performed in 1H 2020. 
  The Group's year-to-date performance was bolstered 
  by a remarkable second quarter, which saw IDH build 
  an already strong first three months of the year. In 
  2Q 2021, IDH recorded revenue of EGP 1,164 million, 
  up 159% versus the previous year and 3% above revenue 
  recorded in 1Q 2021. As with the year-to-date performance, 
  growth was supported by IDH's full service roster, 
  with the number of conventional tests performed increasing 
  2.3% quarter-on-quarter despite the typical slowdown

  Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Patient Segment 
 
  Contract Segment 
  At the Group's contract segment, revenue increased 
  149% year-on-year as test performed expanded 49% and 
  average revenue per contract test increased 68% in 
  1H 2021. This saw the segment's contribution to total 
  revenues reach 55% for the period versus 53% in the 
  same six months of 2020. Covid-19-related(10) testing 
  contributed 47% of contract revenues in the first half 
  of the year as the Company continued to witness strong 
  demand for its offering in both Egypt and Jordan. Excluding 
  Covid-19-related tests, the contract segment would 
  have recorded an 45% year-on-year increase in revenue 
  supported by a 33% rise in tests performed and a 9% 
  increase in average revenue per test. 
  The contract segment's results continued to include 
  contributions from IDH's agreement with Pure Health 
  UAE (EGP 57 million), which saw IDH become the first 
  lab to conduct PCR testing to screen passengers travelling 
  from Egypt. In 1H 2021, PCR tests for Covid-19 performed 
  as part of the agreement made up 5% of contract segment 
  revenues and 7% of total core Covid-19 tests (PCR, 
  Antigen, and Antibody) performed during the period. 
  Walk-in Segment 
  Revenue from IDH's walk-in segment recorded a 132% 
  year-on-year expansion in 1H 2021, contributing to 
  45% of consolidated revenues for the period versus 
  the 47% contribution in the comparable period of 2020. 
  In the first six months of the year, average revenue 
  per test at the walk-in segment increased 71% year-on-year, 
  while tests performed increased by 36% versus 1H 2020. 
  The walk-in segment's revenue was also bolstered by 
  the Group's Covid-19-related test offering, which in 
  1H 2021 contributed to just under half of the segment's 
  top-line at 49%. Controlling for contributions from 
  Covid-19-related tests in both periods, walk-in revenues 
  for 1H 2021 would have increased a solid 30% versus 
  last year on the back of a 17% rise in tests performed 
  and an 11% increase in average revenue per test.

  Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Geography 
  Egypt 
  In Egypt, revenues recorded EGP 1,935 million in the 
  first half of 2021, a 140% increase versus last year 
  supported by a 44% year-on-year rise in tests performed 
  and a 67% year-on-year rise in average revenue per 
  test. Revenue growth for the period was supported by 
  both Covid-19-related(11) test offering, which in 1H 
  2021 made up 47% of the country's revenue, and conventional 
  test offering. More specifically, when controlling 
  for contributions made by Covid-19-related tests, revenue 
  increased 38% versus 1H 2020 on the back of a solid 
  29% rise in conventional tests performed during the 
  period. 
  On a quarterly basis, Egypt recorded revenue of EGP 
  1,015 million in 2Q 2021, up 166% versus 2Q 2020 and 
  10% from 1Q 2021. During the quarter, IDH saw Covid-19-related 
  revenues in Egypt reach a new all-time high of EGP 
  504 million versus EGP 414 million in 1Q 2021 and EGP 
  273 million in 4Q 2020, as the second quarter coincided 
  with the peak of country's third wave of Covid-19 infections. 
  IDH's house call service, which throughout 2020 and 
  the first half of 2021 has been successfully ramped 
  up to capitalise on the service's growing popularity, 
  continued to make a growing contribution to revenues, 
  constituting 25% of Egypt's top-line in 1H 2021 (20% 
  in 1H 2020). 
  IDH's Al-Borg Scan recorded robust revenue growth during 
  the first half of 2021, with its top-line expanding 
  to EGP 20 million, a 124% year-on-year rise. This came 
  on the back of a 103% increase in the total number 
  of radiology tests performed, coupled with a 10% increase 
  in average revenue per test following the introduction 
  of the higher-priced PET-CT scan in late 2020. 
  Overall, IDH served 4.1 million patients in Egypt and 
  performed 14.6 million tests in 1H 2021, up by 56% 
  and 44% year-on-year, respectively.

  Jordan 
  Revenue generated by IDH's Jordanian operations grew 
  176% year-on-year in 1H 2021 to reach EGP 324 million. 
  Top-line growth was driven by a 79% increase in test 
  performed during the period and a 54% rise in Biolab's 
  average revenue per test. In the first half the year, 
  Covid-19-related tests (PCR, Antigen, and Antibody) 
  contributed to 58% of Jordan's revenue and to 24% of 
  Biolab's total tests performed. Meanwhile, controlling 
  for contributions made by the Group's Covid-19-related 
  offering, revenue grew by a robust 41% year-on-year 
  on the back of a 43% increase in conventional tests 
  performed in 1H 2021. Revenue generated by Biolab's 
  house call service more than doubled versus last year 
  to reach EGP 34 million in 1H 2021, continuing to make 
  a significant contribution to Jordan's top-line at 
  11% versus the 13% contribution made in 1H 2020. House 
  call's contribution to Jordan's top-line decreased 
  versus last year in light of the strong growth recorded 
  by Biolab's conventional business which had been impacted 
  by curfews and other Covid-19-related restrictions 
  during the comparable six months of last year. 
  On a quarterly basis, Jordan's revenue reached EGP 
  134 million, up 125% year-on-year but down 30% versus 
  1Q 2021. The quarter-on-quarter contraction comes as 
  Covid-19-related revenue continued to decline on the 
  back of lower infection rates as the country further 
  ramps up its vaccination campaign. When combined with 
  the strong recovery of Biolab's conventional test offering, 
  this saw the contribution made by Covid-19-related 
  tests to Biolab's top-line continue on its declining 
  trajectory from 71% in 4Q 2020, to 64% in 1Q 2021 and 
  48% in 2Q 2021. 
  It is also worth noting, that in August 2021, Biolab 
  was selected as the preferred bidder by Airport International 
  Group (AIG), the operator of Amman's Queen Alia International 
  Airport (QAIA), to operate testing stations in QAIA's 
  departure and arrival terminals primarily dedicated 
  to PCR testing for Covid-19. The main focus of the 
  testing stations will be to offer PCR testing for Covid-19 
  to passengers arriving in Jordan, as well as additional 
  diagnostic tests to patients including rapid Covid-19 
  testing for departing passengers and other, more generic 
  diagnostic tests. The agreement, which came into effect 
  on 1 August 2021, has a six-month duration with the 
  option to renew for additional six-month periods.

  Nigeria 
  At the Group's Nigerian subsidiary, revenue recorded 
  EGP 25 million in the first half of 2021, up 68% from 
  EGP 15 million in the first six months of last year. 
  In local currency terms, growth was even more pronounced 
  with revenues up 76% year-on-year on the back of a 
  47% year-on-year expansion in tests performed (patients 
  served were up 25%) and a 14% increase in average revenue 
  per test. The steady rise in volumes recorded in the 
  last two years comes as a direct results of management's 
  strategic investments to revamp Echo-Lab's branches 
  coupled with effective marketing campaigns aimed at 
  stimulating demand for the venture's services. Moreover, 
  volumes are also benefitting from a gradual normalisation 
  of traffic following the easing of restrictive measures 
  enforced to curb the spread of Covid-19 throughout 
  2020, and the relative stability following protests 
  in the final weeks of last year. On a quarterly basis, 
  IDH's Nigeria operations reported revenues of EGP 13 
  million, more than double the figure recorded in the 
  second quarter of last year and 3% above revenues reported 
  in the first three months of 2021. 
 
  Sudan 
  In Sudan, IDH reported a 25% year-on-year decline in 
  revenues to EGP 9 million for 1H 2021. The country's 
  results were significantly impacted by the devaluation 
  of the Sudanese pound in early 2021 with the average 
  SDG/EGP rate in 1H 2021 standing at 0.07 versus 0.30 
  this time last year. Nonetheless, management's success 
  in increasing prices saw revenue in local currency 
  terms expand a remarkable 217% year-on-year in 1H 2021.

  -Cost of Goods Sold 
  IDH's cost of goods sold increased 96% year-on-year 
  to EGP 988 million in 1H 2021, a much slower increase 
  than the 141% growth in revenues. As such, gross profit 
  for the period increased 193% year-on-year to EGP 1,305 
  million in 1H 2021, with an associated margin of 57%, 
  up 10 percentage points from 1H 2020.

  Raw material costs, which include cost of specialized 
  analysis at other laboratories, recorded EGP 414 million 
  in 1H 2021, and continued to make up the largest share 
  of total COGS at 42%. As a share of revenue, raw material 
  costs increased to 18% in 1H 2021 compared to 16% in 
  the same period of last year. The increase is partially 
  attributable to the retesting of Covid-19 positive 
  cases at IDH's Jordanian subsidiary. Moreover, the 
  year-on-year growth also partially reflects the low 
  base effect resulting from a one-off discount granted 
  by suppliers during the comparable period of last year. 
  It is worth highlighting that in 2Q 2021, raw material 
  costs as a percentage of revenue declined to 16.8% 
  versus the 19.3% share recorded in the previous quarter. 
  The fall comes on the back of lower Covid-19-positive 
  cases in Jordan combined with management's success 
  in driving down PCR test kit costs. It should be noted 
  that Jordan's raw material costs contributed to around 
  26% of the consolidated raw material costs for 1H 2021 
  and to 20% in 2Q 2021. Meanwhile, Egypt's raw materials 
  made up 71% of total raw material costs in the six-month 
  period, with a stable raw material to revenues ratio 
  of 14%. 
  Direct salaries and wages increased 84% year-on-year 
  to EGP 296 million in 1H 2021 and made up the second 
  largest share of total COGS for the six-month period 
  at 30%. The increase is largely attributable to a rise 
  in the share of profits allocated to direct salaries 
  and wages to EGP 87 million in 1H 2021 from EGP 26 
  million 1H 2020 following higher net profit recorded 
  at its Egyptian operations,(12) in addition to higher 
  bonuses/incentives paid during the period. 
  Direct depreciation and amortisation was up 22% year-on-year 
  in 1H 2021 to EGP 97 million, largely due to the incremental 
  amortisation of additional branches (IFRS 16 right-of-use 
  assets). 
  EBITDA 
  IDH's normalised EBITDA(13) grew a remarkable 227% 
  year-on-year to reach EGP 1,203 million in 1H 2021. 
  Normalised EBITDA margin expanded to 52% in 1H 2021 
  versus the 39% margin recorded in 1H 2020, on the back 
  of strong top-line growth and the dilution of fixed 
  costs. EBITDA growth was further bolstered by the normalization 
  of provisions booked during the first six months of 
  the year which in 1H 2021 stood at EGP 10 million versus 
  the EGP 28 million booked in 1H 2020 to account for 
  expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9. Normalised 
  EBITDA excludes one-off listing fees of EGP 29 million 
  incurred in 1H 2021 related to the Company's dual listing 
  on the EGX completed in May 2021. 
  On a quarterly basis, normalised EBITDA recorded EGP 
  603 million in 2Q 2021, up 267% year-on-year and largely 
  in line with the figure recorded in 1Q 2021. Normalised 
  EBITDA margin stood at 52% for the quarter, down from 
  the 53% margin recorded in 1Q 2021 as IDH booked higher 
  accounting fees (related to the EGX requirement to 
  publish quarterly reviewed financial statements) and 
  additional bonus payments to senior management during 
  2Q 2021. 
  In Egypt, EBITDA recorded EGP 1,075 million in 1H 2021, 
  up 223% year-on-year on the back of strong top-line 
  growth. EBITDA margin increased to 56% for the first 
  half of the year from 41% in 1H 2020. 
  IDH's Jordanian operations recorded a 240% year-on-year 
  rise in EBITDA to EGP 131 million for 1H 2021 on the 
  back of strong revenue growth for the six-month period. 
  In local currency terms, EBITDA grew 242% compared 
  to last year. EBITDA margin recorded 40% in the first 
  half of 2021, up from the 33% margin recorded in the 
  comparable period of 2020. 
  (12) According to IAS 1, 10% of Egypt's net profit 
  is allocated to direct wages and salaries. 
  (13) Normalised EBITDA is calculated as operating 
  profit plus depreciation and amortization and minus 
  one-off fees incurred in 1H 2021 related to the Company's 
  EGX listing completed in May 2021. 
 
  In Nigeria, EBITDA losses stood largely unchanged at 
  EGP 4.3 million in 1H 2021. However, it is important 
  to note that the figure includes a one-off adjustment 
  related to the previous year of EGP 3.2 million. 
  Finally, Sudan's EBITDA recorded EGP 0.7 million in 
  1H 2021, down 3% year-on-year with an EBITDA margin 
  of 8% compared to 6% last year. EBITDA for the period 
  was weighed down by the sharp SDG devaluation in February 
  of this year. However, in SDG terms, EBITDA more than 
  quadrupled to SDG 10 million supported by management's 
  pricing strategy aimed at mitigating the impacts of 
  the country's hyperinflationary environment.

  Interest Income / Expense 
  IDH recorded interest income of EGP 45 million in 1H 
  2021, up 34% year-on-year on the back of higher cash 
  balances during the period. 
 
  Interest expense recorded EGP 54 million in the first 
  half of 2021 versus EGP 37 million in 1H 2020. The 
  year-on-year increase in largely attributable to the 
  loan-related expenses incurred by IDH during the period 
  as the Company secured a new eight-year US$ 45 million 
  facility with the International Finance Corporation 
  (IFC) in May 2021. During 1H 2021, IDH booked loan-related 
  expenses of EGP 12.5 million including a front-end 
  fee, syndication fee, and legal advisory fees. The 
  facility will be used to finance IDH's growth plans 
  across new and existing markets. The loan has a four 
  year grace period and availability period of two years. 
  Higher interest expenses for the period also partially 
  reflect higher interest on lease liabilities related 
  to IFRS 16 following the addition of new branches, 
  as well as higher bank charges resulting from increased 
  penetration of, and reliance on, POS machines and electronic 
  payments during the period.

  (14) Related to medium-terms loans for the Al Borg 
  Scan expansion (EGP 3.0 million) and the Group's new 
  headquarters in Cairo's Smart Village (EGP 1.7 million). 
  Foreign Exchange 
  IDH recorded a net foreign exchange loss of EGP 19 
  million in 1H 2021 compared to EGP 4 million in the 
  same six months a year ago. The figure largely reflects 
  FX losses on the back of the SDG devaluation versus 
  the EGP in February 2021. 
 
  Taxation 
  Tax expenses recorded in 1H 2021 were EGP 367 million 
  compared to EGP 95 million in the same period of last 
  year. The effective tax rate stood at 35% in the period 
  unchanged versus 1H 2020. It is important to note that 
  there is no tax payable for IDH's two companies at 
  the holding level, while tax was paid on profits generated 
  by operating subsidiaries. 
  Net Profit 
  IDH's consolidated net profit recorded EGP 668 million 
  in the first half of 2021, up an impressive 283% year-on-year. 
  Improving net profitability was supported by strong 
  revenue growth coupled with increased cost efficiencies, 
  higher interest income and normalising provisions for 
  the period. As such, net profit margin stood at 29% 
  in 1H 2021, up from 18% last year. 
 

ii. Balance Sheet Analysis

Assets

Property, Plant and Equipment

IDH held gross property, plant and equipment (PPE) of EGP 1,365 million as at 30 June 2021, up from the EGP 1,247 million as of 31 December 2020. Meanwhile, CAPEX outlays represented around 5% of consolidated revenues in the first half of the year.

Accounts Receivable and Provisions

As at 30 June 2021, accounts receivables' Days on Hand (DOH) stood at 97 days compared to 144 days at year-end 2020, displaying a sustained improvement in collections during the first six months of the year versus 2020. Accounts receivables' DOH is calculated based on credit revenues amounting to EGP 637.9 million during 1H 2021.

Provision for doubtful accounts established during the first six months of 2021 amounted to EGP 10 million, down from the EGP 28 million booked in provisions in the comparable period of last year. This comes as collection cycles continue to normalise following a period of heightened uncertainty in the first stages of the Covid-19 crisis.

Inventory

As at 30 June 2021, the Group's inventory balance reached EGP 142 million, up from EGP 100 million as at year-end 2020. Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) decreased to 54 days as at 30 June 2021 from 72 days as at year-end 2020. The decline is largely attributable the high turnover of PCR testing for Covid-19.

Cash and Net Debt/Cash

IDH's cash balances increased to EGP 1,587(15) million as at 30 June 2021 compared to EGP 877 million as at 31 December 2020.

Net cash balance(16) amounted to EGP 904(17) million as at 30 June 2021, an increase of 181% compared to EGP 321 million as at 31 December 2020.

(15) The figure does not include dividend payments of US$ 29.1 million distributed to shareholders on 29 July 2021.

(16) The net cash balance is calculated as cash and cash equivalent balances less interest-bearing debt (medium term loans), finance lease and Right-of-use liabilities.

(17) Pre-dividend distribution.

(18) IDH's interest bearing debt as at 30 June 2021 is split as EGP 26 million related to its medium term facility with the Commercial International Bank (CIB) and EGP 57 million to its facility Ahli United Bank Egypt (AUBE).

Lease liabilities on property stood at EGP 468.0 million as at 1H 2021 versus the EGP 389.9 million booked in FY 2020. The increase is attributable to the addition of new branches during the first six months of 2021 as well as Al-Borg Scan's third branch which is expected to come online in September of this year. Meanwhile, financial obligations related to equipment recorded EGP 128.8 million as at 30 June 2021, up from EGP 69.1 million as at year-end 2020. The increase comes following the renewal of the Company's contracts and the addition of new equipment.

Liabilities

Accounts Payable

As at 30 June 2021, accounts payable balance stood at EGP 225 million up from EGP 178 million as at year-end 2020. However, the Group's days payable outstanding (DPO) stood at 91 days as at 30 June 2021 down from 127 days as year-end 2020. The decline primarily reflects the fact that PCR testing kit suppliers are paid within a period of 15 days.

iii. Cash Flow Analysis

Net cash flow from operating activities recorded EGP 866 million in the first half of 2021 compared to EGP 149 million in 1H 2020, demonstrating the company's continued strong cash generation ability.

iv. Dividend

A dividend of US$ 29.1 million (US$ 0.0485 per share) for the year ended 31 December 2020 was distributed to shareholders on 29 July 2021. This represents an increase of 4% compared to a final dividend of US$ 28 million in aggregate in the previous financial year.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

As in any corporation, IDH has exposure to risks and uncertainties that may adversely affect its performance. The Board and senior management agree that the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group include political and economic risks in Egypt, the Middle East and Nigeria, foreign currency exchange rate variability and associated risks, changes in regulation and regulatory actions, damage to the Group's reputation, failure to maintain the Group's high quality standards and accreditations, failure to maintain good relationships with healthcare professionals and end-users, pricing pressures and business interruption of the Group's testing facilities, among others.

Other short-term risks include operational disruptions related the Covid-19 pandemic; delays in branch openings and renovations in Nigeria and difficulties in growing Echo-Lab's customer base; prolonged political unrest in Sudan that can adversely affect patient and test volumes, while further currency devaluation risks will limit the compensatory effect of price increases.

Review report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

To: The board of directors of Integrated Diagnostics Holdings PLC "IDH"

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc "IDH" (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") as at 30 June 2021, and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods then ended, and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim financial reporting' ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Other matter

As Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc "IDH" was listed in the Egyptian stock exchange for the first time on May 5,2021, the Company did not prepare and publish the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three month period ended 31 March 2021. The comparative information for the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position is based on the audited consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020. The comparative information for the condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income for the three-month s and six-month s periods then ended 30 June 2020 , and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended 30 June 2020 , and related explanatory notes, have not been audited or reviewed.

The group's assessment for the differences with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' (As adopted by the EU) concluded that there are no material differences on the consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance of the Group for the period then ended the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year ended 31 December 2020 and corresponding interim reporting period.

The accounting policy for put options after initial recognition is to recognise all changes in the carrying value of the put liability within equity as all these transactions are with the non-controlling interests of the Group.

During the historic acquisitions of Makhbariyoun Al Arab (Biolabs) which took place at 31 December 2011, the Group entered into separate put option arrangements to purchase the remaining equity interests from the vendors at a subsequent date. At acquisition, a put option liability has been recognised for the net present value for the exercise price of the option. The options are exercisable in whole from the fifth anniversary of the completion of the original purchase agreement, which fell due in June 2016. The vendor has not exercised this right at 30 June 2021.

20. Financial Instruments

The Group has reviewed the financial assets and liabilities held at 30 June 2021. It has been deemed that the carrying amounts for all financial instruments are a reasonable approximation of fair value. All financial instruments are deemed Level 3.

Contingent liabilities

As required by article 134 of the labour law on Vocational Guidance and Training issued by the Egyptian Government in 2003, Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs are required to conform to the requirements set out by that law to provide 1% of net profits each year into a training fund. During the year, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc have taken legal advice and considered market practice in Egypt relating to this and more specifically whether the vocational training courses undertaken by Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs suggest that obligations have been satisfied through training programmes undertaken in-house by those entities. Since the issue of the law on Vocational Guidance and Training, Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs have not been requested by the government to pay or have voluntarily paid any amounts into the external training fund. The board of Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc have concluded that an outflow of funds is not probable.

Should a claim be brought against Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs, an amount of between EGP 19.5m to EGP 49 m could become payable, however this is not considered probable.

* At the Extraordinary General Meeting on 4 December 2020, the Company decided to the following share split: The existing issued ordinary share capital of 150,000,000 ordinary shares of US$1.00 each (the "Existing Ordinary Shares") have been split into four new ordinary shares of US$0.25 each (the "New Ordinary Shares"). The comparative figures have been updated.

23. Segment reporting

The Group has four operating segments based on geographical location rather than two operating segments based on service provided, as the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the internal management reports and KPIs of each geography.

The Group operates in four geographic areas, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan and Nigeria. The revenue split between the four regions is set out below.
